in my experience that has always worked.to find the alsa.dsl file, go to one of the sites where you can download dsl and then go into a folder marked 'mydsl'

to install alsa.dsl, use the emelfm program and navigate to the folder containing alsa.dsl. then highlight alsa.dsl by clicking on it once, and then click on 'mydsl'

after you've done this, there should be a new entry in the list of programms you find by right clicking on the desktop->->myDSL ->Alsa Setup

if it doesn't find your card straight away, it will suggest probing all your ports for various card types. this may take a while (i think it's fairly safe to ignore the warning, i've never had problems myself), but it tends to find what you need

had no luck if it helps it is a intergraded audio and it realtek ac 97 audio one and i ran alsa setup it installed and then did alsa setup and it said it did not find any pnp or pci card and did the isa it came up blank and said ok but no luck fired up the media player with set on the alsa out put plugin so any help is welcome and thak you for yuor help

Be sure to read the info files.alsa.dsl is only for DSL v2.0 and v2.1all other versions including DSL v2.2 use alsadebs.dslAlso, as this is an extension you should post in the extension area of the board. Reading other users experiences with alsa may also be helpful. You should find those in the extension section of the board.

i have still not had any luck with the sound it would be alot of help if sommone could tell me what driver would work with DSL for a realtek ac 97 intergrade audio on the motherboard i have DSL 2.2b e machine t 6412 AMD Atlon 64 processor 3400+
